That said it clocked in at a million copies sold in its first month of release, so it’s clear that Square Enix want to extend the userbase from console.

Whether this Steam release will also include an Episode Duscae port is unclear but likely, especially as an update for the demo is expected in June for the console versions anyway.

Type-0 is an interesting game, with a solid tactical action focus so that will be a nice addition to the PC gaming library.

Much like Valkyria Chronicles before it, it would be good to see more Japanese console games available on PC.

There is a solid cultural reason as to why console games are rarely ported to PC in Japan though, as that’s mainly because PC games are expected to be dating simulators and that the market expectation is very different to what it is in the West.

As such getting out of that mindset has taken people in Japanese games publishers a good while but now at least we seem to beginning to see some changes in that area.

While we don’t know the release date or other details as yet, I’m glad to see Type-0 HD given more exposure.
